Despite two decades of good work, the trust’s grantmaking is as needed as ever. “There are still so many deep needs,” Rynd said. “We haven’t cured our scourges of homelessness, poverty, low reading scores.” That’s why Rynd is excited to work to extend the reach and legacy of Virginia G. Piper. Along those lines, Piper Trust has interesting plans. During this milestone year, the trust is looking to professionally archive some of Piper’s personal items. “We’ve got audiotapes that she used to send back and forth to her parents. Just a myriad of things, from art to coffee mugs to important letters,” Rynd said. Piper Trust hopes to preserve these items in a way that will keep Piper’s memory and mission alive for future generations, so that she is more than just a name on a wall. “We all adored her,” said Rynd. “She was somebody that people were drawn to. Her kind heart just came through.” To learn more, go to pipertrust.org . Above left : Pope John Paul II and Virginia Piper (right) in September 1987.
